Unlocking Efficiency: Automate Your Egnyte Workflows with Microsoft Power Automate

The contemporary business landscape is progressively evolving into a realm of intricate complexity. Organizations employ an assortment of systems and tools to streamline processes, amplify productivity, optimize workflows, and abide by the constantly shifting industry norms and rigorous compliance benchmarks - all the while keeping an eye on cost efficiency. Achieving this can be a daunting task. Yet, the robotic process automation tool, Microsoft Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow), empowers teams to automate monotonous tasks. Its user-friendly, low-code approach enhances productivity and saves substantial time.  

Microsoft Power Automate permits users to establish and automate more than 220 applications and services independently, removing the need for the development team's involvement. Egnyte, which is recognized as a highly qualified Microsoft Partner and Microsoft’s Cloud Storage Partner Program Plus (CSPP+) member due to its deep interoperability with Microsoft applications, has developed the Egnyte Connector in the Microsoft Power Automate application. This facilitates the automation of crucial workflows across diverse applications, freeing up valuable time of resources and enabling them to focus on key strategic initiatives, rendering higher value.  

The Egnyte Connector in Microsoft Power Automate, with its 10 triggers and 67 actions, is specially crafted to automate workflows and simplify critical file management tasks, thereby, boosting productivity and efficiency. 

Key Functionalities:

Additionally, synchronize files across different storage providers seamlessly.
